A Computational Investigation of Natural Circulation Effects on Heat Transfer Coefficient and Friction Factor

Creator:

Buskirk, John

Abstract:

The nuclear industry has shown a large interest in natural circulation driven passive cooling systems following the Fukushima nuclear accident. Despite this interest, there is no widely used heat transfer correlation or friction factor correlation developed for natural circulation driven flow. A CFD analysis including grid convergence testing using Fluent...

Ecology and Distribution of Blue Whales in New Zealand Across Spatial and Temporal Scales

Creator:

Barlow, Dawn R.

Abstract:

The distribution of mobile marine predators often reflects underlying dynamic ecological processes. The geographical focus of this PhD is the South Taranaki Bight (STB) of New Zealand, where wind-driven coastal upwelling generates productivity and prey to support a blue whale foraging ground. The STB is also New Zealand’s most industrial...

Use of Controlled Blasting to Quantify the Dynamic, In-Situ, Nonlinear Inelastic Response of Soils

Creator:

Jana, Amalesh

Abstract:

The seismic response of deep deposits of liquefiable and cyclic-softening susceptible soils has presented the geotechnical profession with significant engineering challenges. Strong ground motions may serve to soften soils under cyclic shear, trigger liquefaction, and produce damaging displacements as a consequence. This study improves the understanding of the in-situ, nonlinear,...
